An excellent picture of life in mid-19th century Gloustershire

I purchased this volume from a small bookshop in the market town of Moreton-in-Marsh. This is a colorful and detailed view of rural life in the Cotswolds from 1820 - 1852. The diary was kept by the Reverend F.E. Witts during the bulk of his career as a country parson. These are delightful descriptions! Anyone who is interested in English country life should read this book.
